- Guideline:
- EU Method B.6 (Skin Sensitisation)
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
- Version / remarks:

- Type of study:
- guinea pig maximisation test
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- The original Test Guideline (TG) for the determination of skin sensitization in the mouse, the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA; TG 429) was adopted in 2002. The GPMT was reported 1988. At this time point the LLNA; TG 429 was not adopted.

- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Determination of the primary not irritating concentration:
The following concentrations of the test substance were tested (epicutaneous, occlusive) on the left flank of two guinea pigs: 0.25, 2.50 and 25.00 % in petrolatum.
The left flank of the test animals was clipped, 0.5 g of the test substance preparation was loaded onto a 2x2 cm cellulose layer, which was occlusively fixed to the left flank for 24 h. The treated skin was observed 24 h after removing the patch and evaluated for erythema/edema according to Draize score.
- Determination of the tolerance for intradermal injection:
The following test substance concentrations were tested twice in 3 guinea pigs by intradermal injection: 0.2, 1.0 and 5.0 % in paraffin oil.
The injections sites were localized within an area of 2x4 cm on the back of the animals near the shoulders.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Determination of the primary not irritating concentration:
After treatment with 0.25, 2.50 and 25.00% test substance preparation no signs of skin irritation were observed.
Treating the animals with Freund's adjuvant may decrease the limit concentration determined for primary irritation. For this reason, 5 Freund's adjuvant-treated animals of a satellite group were treated with 25% test substance in petrolatum by epicutaneous application. These animals showed no signs of irritation. Therefore, a concentration of 25% test substance in petrolatum was established for the challenge exposure in the main experiment.
Determination of the tolerance for intradermal injection:
The injection of 0.2, 1.0 ad 5.0% test substance preparations induced skin redness and swelling. On the basis of this preliminary test, the 5% test substance preparation was chosen for intradermal injection in the main experiment.
Main experiment
- Body weight and clinical observations:
Treated animals showed no signs of toxicity during the whole test period.
Intradermal injection with Freund's adjuvant (with and without test substance) clearly induced skin redness and swelling at the injection site. From the third day post-application, the injection sites were hardened. After 5 days post-application, necrosis was observed in most of the Freund's adjuvant-treated injection sites.
After removal of the occlusive bandage on day 11, the application sites which had been treated with Freund's adjuvant showed skin redness, swelling and were hardened in all animals (control, test and satellite groups). In addition, necrosis and some open wounds were observed. The injection sites treated only with the test substance or vehicle showed no irritation.
The body weight development of the treated animals was not affected.
- Challenge exposure:
24 and 48 h after removal of the occlusive bandage, all animals of the test group showed very slight to moderate erythema and very slight to slight edema. In addition, some animals showed skin drying and cracking. Animals of the control group showed no irritation.
